Synopsis
IN THEATRES: SEPTEMBER 8, 2000 (NATIONAL) NURSE BETTY is a fiery comedy from director Neil LaBute (IN THE COMPANY OF MEN, YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS). Betty Sizemore (Renee Zellweger), a waitress in a small Kansas town who lives vicariously through her favorite soap opera stars, fantasizes about a perfect life like that of the doctors and nurses on the tv show, "A Reason to Love." When her husband, Del (Aaron Eckhart), brings an illegal business deal into their home, Betty escapes into her fantasy and takes on the imagined persona, Nurse Betty, in order to block out her husband's criminal activity. A spry, touching film, NURSE BETTY's absurdity is purely funny.
